How can you cancel out the 5y and 7y from:
4x^2 over 5y times 7y over 12x^4

  7

 ————

 15x2

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 (4 • (x2))      7y  

 —————————— • ————————

     5y       (22•3x4)

Step  2  :

              7y  

Simplify   ————————

           (22•3x4)

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (4 • (x2))    7y

 —————————— • ————

     5y       12x4

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 22x2    7y

 ———— • ————

  5y    12x4

Step  4  :

           22x2

Simplify   ————

            5y

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 4x2    7y

 ——— • ————

 5y    12x4

Step  5  :

Dividing exponential expressions :

5.1    x2 divided by x4 = x(2 - 4) = x(-2) = 1/x2

Canceling Out :

5.2    Canceling out y as it appears on both sides of the fraction line

Final result :

   7

 ————

 15x2

Step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
